ORNAMENTAL FINGER-RING.

SPECIFIGATION forming part of Letters Patent N0. 728,827, dated. May 26, 1903.

Application filed September 8, 1902- Serial No. 122,594 (No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN ANTHONY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Attleboro, in the county of Bristol and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ornamental Finger- Rings; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

The invention relates to ornamental fingerrings.

The object of the invention is to provide a novel form of finger-ring which will be highly ornamental in appearance and which will possess the advantage of snugly fitting the finger and conforming to the shape thereof and not easily slipping off and becoming lost and which will not bruise the finger when the hand is firmly grasped in the act of shaking it.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of my improved ring. Fig. 2 is a vertical cross-sectional view. Fig. 3 is a view, on an enlarged scale, of a fragment of the ring, illustrating the manner in which it is constructed. Fig. 4 is a fragmentary plan view of the edge of the ring, and Fig. 5 isaview similar to Fig. 2 on an enlarged scale.

In the drawings, A is the ring, made of gold, silver, or any other kind of wire, flexible, and formed on its edges with inwardlyprojecting ribs or flanges 2, so that when the ring is placed upon the finger these flanges depress the flesh and make a snug connection of the ring with the finger, and owing to the flexibility of the ring it will conform to th general outline of the finger.

As shown clearly in Figs. 2, 3, 4, and 5, the

contour of the finger and is made also neat and attractive and also, withal, ornamental.

From the foregoing description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, the construction and operation of the invention will be readily understood without requiring a more extended explanation. 7

Various changes in the form, proportion, and the minor details of construction may be resorted to without departing from the principle or sacrificing any of the advantages of this invention.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desireto secure by Letters Patent, is- 1 A ring formed of coiled strands having their coiled portions interlocked and having their ends bent and interlocked at the edges of the ring, some of said ends extending inwardly and forming projecting rims or flanges at the edges of the ring, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
